Sakura Will Be Freely Playable In Street Fighter V Next Week
Along with Capcom's revamping of Street Fighter V with Arcade Edition next week comes a new character: Sakura. To get players acclimated to the new features and foster a little good will, Capcom is letting players try her out free of charge during Arcade Edition's launch week.
From January 16 to 23, anyone who downloads the free Arcade Edition update will be able to use to character across all modes. Players will be able to earn fight money (SFV's in-game currency) using her, though it will all disappear once the free period is over unless players choose to purchase her with fight money or by buying the Season 3 character pass.

Our Take
This is a pretty cool way to start off a year of what I'm guessing is going to be a nostalgic year from Capcom. Between the Arcade Edition of SFV and the upcoming 30th Anniversary Collection, Street Fighter fans have a lot to look forward to.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
